I remember Genius 3 being on top for a very long time. Even when Fritz 3 gained fame, Genius 3 was still the stronger engine, from most tests. Next came Hiarcs 6, I believe, as the engine which stayed at the top (e.g. of ssdf) for a long time. So did Hiarcs 7 take over (7.01, esp. but more well known was 7.32, but not necesarily stronger than 7.01) Then there was a brief reign of one of the chessmasters (6or 7?) and there was Fritz 7, or something like that, and others which were more like "first among equals". Then, I think Shredder 7.04 was also a real ruler for a good amount of time, and even Shredder 9 didn't tottaly surpass it in every aspect of play. So some liked Shredder 9, but I think that Rybka of now, is the real ruler, and looks like it might continue to be so for quite some time. CAN things get much better than Rybka looks set to do? Is chess infinite? I wouldn't have thought so. S.Taylor
